I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified

Away with the pope!

Early tomorrow, the retired priest hereabouts and I will set off for D.C. to concelebrate Mass with the Holy Father--how cool is that?

I just got back from the grocery store, where I picked up a few food items; it's hit-or-miss if you can get proper food to eat while driving, and I dislike stopping much on a drive this length--I prefer to keep going. And, even if we stop, we can eat the food I bring instead.

Still tonight I have to pack a few items and get some sandwiches ready for tomorrow, and try to think of the things I would otherwise forget!

Heh--I was having a bit of fun of course with the headline, hoping it would generate some interest...

Tracy:

The Archbishop advised the priests in this diocese some time back that all priests in the U.S. would be invited to concelebrate, and I put in for a ticket; then, we got word it wouldn't happen; then we got word it would. The whole thing was dicey until I finally decided I was going earlier this week.

I hope to put up a post tomorrow, as I just arrived home after a day-long drive.

But, of course, concelebrating Mass with the successor to Peter...how cool is that?
